Artisan Square & Getting There | Bowen Island

Artisan Square is one of Bowen's commercial hubs with a unique collection of boutiques, galleries, eateries, wellness, and accommodation. Here's how to walk, drive, cycle, and bus to Artisan Square.

Perched on Cates Hill, with stunning vistas of Howe Sound, Artisan Square is one of Bowen Island’s beloved places to visit and enjoy. Creativity abounds in this little square where you’ll find an interesting collection of artists and artisans, unique boutiques, a café & bakery, an organic chocolatier, wellness practitioners and a medispa.

Artisan Square is a short five-minute drive from the ferry terminal. The #280 Bluewater Bus and the #282 Mt. Gardner Bus on the weekends will both take you to and from Artisan Square.

Walking to Artisan Square is a little more demanding. It’s an uphill walk and takes approximately 20 minutes. Note: more visual guides will be uploaded soon.
